Never a problem when I go here. Staff is very polite but the manager is super. He is one in a million for sure. When other part stores have given me the wrong part started going to this location and never in 3 1/2 yrs have I ever got the wrong part .. love this place and they have my business til God calls me home. 😊

Went in to see if I could get some help with either a fuse or relay for my horn. I walk in, wasn’t even greeted or asked if I needed any assistance. The employee was just chatting on the phone the whole time. So I left. Customer service was extremely poor.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
